Chapel Street and The Irwell - Saturday 20 September 2014

Central Salford is on the up and the up, meanwhile the banks of the River Irwell are becoming more and more accessible. This tour along the border of Manchester and Salford also takes in Chapel Street, the A6.

Along the way we learn about the Flat Iron Market, the tragedy of the First World War, clamber over old cemeteries, encounter nuclear bnkers and trace the path of Henry Hobson from Hobson's Choice by Harold Brighouse.

The contribution of this part of the twin cities to national and international history will be explained and all guests will receive a flower to wear following the example of one great Salfordian.

As usual the price is £8 per person. The tour starts at 3pm with the meeting point the People's History Museum in Manchester, M3 3ER.
